his friends declaration that he was in
sane yesterday drove him to suicide.

the solem march of protest began dow
Broadway. 4 large number of person:
witnessed the parade, despite In
clement weather, and the scene wa'
impressive as the long line of men, 800

red and black flags, all heavily drapeC
in Grape, bands playing the " Deac
March from Saul, and the Marsel
laise." There were many transpareDcies

where it disbanded. The police wer

that none of the condemned men shove
any signs of breaking down. Rev. DI

r three minutes, and his efforts to ge' Pal
l sons to consider spiritual matters were c
1 no avail.
7 At 1880 o'clock tonight the cor
